She really is one of the most beautiful ladies in show business. Penelope Cruz graced the cover of W Magazine for their August issue. Aside from how gorgeous she looks on the cover, the old school Hollywood black and white photo is really cool too!

And her are a few snippets from her interview with the magazine.

Penélope Cruz
tells W magazine about her inner 'monster': "I'm always
finding very tricky and hidden ways to sabotage any beautiful moment. And it's
something so internal that I don't think even my friends or family can catch me
doing it. But I catch myself doing it. I've had that battle since I was a
little girl. It's like, Uh-oh, here it is again, the monster! Go away and
leave me alone!"

ON FACING HER FEARS… "I try not to run away from
things because I'm scared of them. When you feel you have to say
something to someone, and your heart starts going fast because it could be
controversial, I always vote for saying it. With time, you get more at
peace with it. I used to get very upset about it, and very angry at myself. But
now, when it comes, I just send it away."
